Royce/rep

Public
A transfer student from Sierra Leone, he's very much an athletic if quiet one. Only a few friends outside of the library and video store, he's always wearing a hoodie, even in the heat, and is never seen without his battered knapsack and has been seen driving a similarly-battered Jeep with a barely-repaired muffler. He takes a jog every day after school and works at a local copy shop as a clerk, forever writing in his journal or sketching on receipt paper to pass the time. Lives with both of his parents, who work as translators for foreign business administrators working with African countries. He's traveled far to arrive in California but seems to like it just fine.

School
Runs like a cheetah and is a terror on the basketball court. Called out periodically for fouls, he's a first-round pick for pickup games or finishing off practices. Won't try out for track and field and eschews the weight training for working out while jogging after school. He's taken an interest in both journalism and astronomy, but has stunned his French class with his remarkable fluency with it. Not doing so great in English, but he's doing just fine in Science.

Street
The block he lives on doesn't have a drug dealer on it anymore. Someone kept throwing tennis balls and half-bricks through their windows late at night until they took the hint and left the area. Every stop sign near his home has a two letter addition to the base of the red octagon: It. To this, there's a DARE sticker added.
